Summary
Designs, develops, and validates physical hardware and electronics for health technology and medical devices — spanning schematic capture, PCB layout, circuit design, embedded systems, power architecture, and EMI/EMC. Distinct from firmware/software focuses (which own embedded code and integration logic) and from regulatory/quality focuses (which own QMS and submissions); this focus owns the physical electronic design through compliance with medical electrical safety standards such as IEC 60601-1.
